String Quartet "American"
Album by Antonín Dvořák & Talichovo kvarteto
String Quartet No. 12 in F major, Op. 96, known as the "American", is a string quartet by Czech composer Antonín Dvořák, composed in 1893. Written during his time in the United States, it is a work of chamber music that blends late-Romantic quartet writing with melodies and rhythms inspired by American folk music and African-American spirituals, and serves as an example of Dvořák's engagement with American musical idioms within his career.
